Lots of fields restrict their employees from profiting off their name, image, and tie to an organization. It isn't a new concept. Should a police chief be able to don his uniform, introduce himself as the chief, and do a commercial for a local alarm company?

So the players are employees?

i'm curious to see if the schools handle the NIL for the players or will they be allowed to hire an agent?

No, but the limitation is often applied to volunteers as well. For example, I am an instructor that teaches both American Heart Association and American Red Cross CPR and first aid courses. I am not an employee and do not get a dime from them.

If I throw on an AHA or ARC shirt or even just identify myself as an instructor and then go out and make an ad for my favorite AED, I’ve taught my last course for that organization. I’ll also get at the very least a cease and desist order.
